3 crazy phases ahead - a view into a sick pig

It has been some time since I posted.

(And to everybody who got fooled by the title: I´ll not discuss nutrition.)




There are two reasons for that:


-I was a sick pig. Yeah, right, I had the swine flu.

:-D

-Second: I have been in the Austrian´ backcountry for some weeks, completing an internship at a psychosomatic clinic.


Which reminded me of a very important rule to a warriors life: surround yourself with likeminded people.




Fortunatly I had one guy with me, even crazier than me who constantly kept me on the thin line between clear thinking and almost kiling him for talking nonsense all the time.



On the other hand I was shown who I do not want to be surrounded by.

I´ll have to evaluate my future under those new points of view.



But some really interesting things will happen over the next few months.



Right now I´m back to being a pig. But this time eating like one.

I was in the mood for some bulking again and the best results of my training career so far came from the one lift a day- approach by Dan John. ( http://danjohn.net/ )

So I´m back to the program for approx. 5 weeks.


But there is no growth without building blocks, energy and time to do the building.


About the building blocks:

I started eating as much as my daily work at the university allows me. Usually this means I´m able to get 2 square meals a day.

Since this would be way to little food to grow anything I added several milk shakes with a whey protein. That way I can add around 30 gram of protein 2-3 times a day.

So far it feels pretty good.


About the energy:

I´m also ingesting a good amount of carbs on my training days, mostly rice, bread and potatoes.

The rest- days are fat and protein only.

I have accepted that I will gain a little fat along with the muscle mass, that´s why the 4 weeks after the program are gonna be sweeeeet!


About the time to build:

Well, I have to sleep. Period.



After the program...

Well, since I will be a pudgy piggy after the 5 weeks I´ll give the velocity diet a chance:

You got the link, so please, read it up.

I´m expecting the fat loss but along with it some huge mental barriers to break. Simply because only living on milk shakes won´t be a walk in tha park.

The training regimen will be slightly different than in the original version because I have to tailor it to my possibilities of my home gym.


After that I´m gonna be a sharp piggy, both physically and mentally.

My body will be in a state of optimal absorption capeabilities which leads to the phase three: another bulking phase.

Back to eating like a fat pig while working like a mule. Plus I´m as stubborn as one so it will be a walk in the park.

Well...kinda...you know...



I´ll keep you posted, especially while on the velocity diet and we will see how messed up I´m gonna get. ;-)



By the way, the next interview with Brad McLeod, our former Navy SEAL will soon be posted so keep checking the blog, I´m really looking forward to it and hopefully so do you!


Train hard and enjoy every moment!
All the best,
Harry


BTW: No piggies were hurt due to the usage of their name in this Blog. Every pig who was emotionally crushed due to my violent abuse of his proud name was given a cuddle- therapy to recuperate.
